Frequency/Rx Calibration Elecraft K2

W4RAM
I am looking for assistance with the following:
I want to calibrate the frequency reception in my Elecraft K2(01215).
Although I have read several posts, I am still confused with the procedure.
I don't have the frequency counter probe that the manual mentions.
I have a Signal Generator and audio spectogram software, what can I do with
this two to calibrate the K2?
I am looking for guidance in the process.

Thank you

Al

Al,

Your signal generator will not be of any use.
You WILL need the internal frequency counter probe - you can order the
kit from Elecraft.

Go to my website www.w3fpr.com and open the article on K2 Dial
Calibration.  It contains complete information.

Your audio spectrum analyzer can be useful when tuning in WWV - look for
the transmitted tones (500 and 600 Hz) to appear at the proper audio
frequency.
